Re: Forget Quicktime, what about CAD [TANKS]

["Amir Tahvildaran" <adt22-at-drexel.edu>]

I finally got a decent CAD program (bentley microstation) and printed the 
files (as pdf).  I uploaded them here in case anyone else would like to use 
them.  http://www.cs.drexel.edu/~adt22/tank/files/  There are two versions 
there (both pulled from http://www.gjames.com.au/chris/index.html)

Be careful about using the version2 files, I think the track dimensions are 
off.  The drive sprocket doesn't fit inside the track circle.

I think I might give up on the roller sprocket idea and go with a tts2 for 
now.  Steve (or Chris), any chance of getting a printout of the tts2 hub? 
If not I'll use my newly acquired CAD software to sketch one up (1" slots, 
11 sides, tooth: 3/8" x 1/4", right?)
